Pros

pre-IPO, great culture - everyone worth having around, they couldn't retain due to the subpar pay

Cons

- subpar pay for internal promotions - CEO is crazy, everytime there's a tweet, he posts it to drive people into a frantic frenzy - products are not fully baked by the time they launch - IPO bureaucracy is now making working here untenable - we proudly support conservative websites

Pros

Exceptionally talented team. Every IC I worked with brought deep technical skills, genuine passion, and a collaborative, empathetic approach. Compensation and equity are strong.

Cons

Senior leadership lacks a clear vision, direction shifts constantly without concrete goals. Internal competition is actively encouraged by management, which creates a toxic dynamic. No 401k match. Raises and promotions are difficult to come by once you're in, and leadership feels largely out of touch with the realities on the ground.
